Application
- Utilized to predict depth of bedrock, determination of rock strength/rippability, layer thickness, soil stability, landfill investigations
-Used for mapping layer thickness, bedrock level, topography, horizontal profiling void and sinkholes, mapping of faults and horizontal fracture zones and where high detail is necessary or is an or complex geological environment
Evaluation of ground stiffness by measuring shear-wave velocities
Determines physical properties of the soil from the seismic velocities measured
Determines the structural integrity of drilled shafts and other concrete piles
Reliable method for assessing the integrity of deep foundation elements such as newly placed concrete drilled shafts and slurry walls
The High Resolution Acoustic Televiewer (HRAT)® provides a continuous high-resolution oriented ultrasound image of the borehole wall.
The Gyro probe acquires borehole inclination/azimuth logs in situations where metal casing or magnetic materials around the borehole prevent use of the standard verticality probe.
The PS Logger probe measures P (compression) and S (shear) wave velocities in a single borehole without the need for external energy sources
